Some other unmentioned perfect guitars for specific unmentioned applications: Harmony H62/Silvertone Espanada/Harmony H44 - Swing & Jump Blues Danelectro Baritone - Blues, Country, Surf, Spaghetti Western, Studio. Also, the Danelectro shown is actually a hollow body which adds to it's acoustic resonance. The Danelectro U2 and the 1963 Reissue and the DC are all hollow. I own them and like the author said, they are great guitars. I use them for all applications in blues specifically, they are great for slide. A quick demo of me playing slide on my 1963 Danelectro Reissue through a 1973 Musicmaster Bass Amp, no effects: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD6l5-88cLQ Thanks for the cool articles and guitars! Just bought a Harmony H62 Artist Reissue with P13s. Very nice guitar! Great list and I concur. Some other unmentioned perfect guitars for specific unmentioned applications:

You're not bad informed, but the les paul models (especially the dearmond m75 and 75t) are one in a million guitars. It's heavy, I know, but you must have balls to carry it. If you want to sound great you must go by NO PAIN NO GAIN. That's all. Thanks anyways. Well as you said it’s your opinion, but let ME tell you something.

(Frank Ralph's music) Gansett avenue Cranston Rhode Island 02920. I was 8 years old. And he had it in the window with a couple of others. They said 'DOMINO' on them. It was 5 sided. It was my dream. Since that time I have done most everything in the music business except find and purchase this particular guitar. In fact, I was absolutely convinced that NO person in the world ever even heard of these guitars. Well. There is a picture of it on a site called myvintageguitars.com. Where can i find and buy this guitar? 43 years have gone by ad i have NEVER forgotten it. I have talked about it many many times over the years to all my musical contacts. I would always say, "I'm going to run across this particular guitar someday before I die, and own it." Maybe even be blessed enough to play a few gigs with it. Is there any way you can help me. I would be so grateful. It's the five sided white with wood grain pickguard center if you will, and it says 'DOMINO' on the headstock. What do i have to do to get one of these?. I will do almost anything!. Am I correct in saying I think I remember a see thru one also? I look so forward to hearing back from you. Maybe even with some good news - like you know where i can buy one. My name is Dave Olszewski originally from Rhode Island. I now reside in Florida. I'm not getting any younger, is there a CHANCE I will ever have my dream guitar/...the one wanted since i was 8 years old/. Please let me know.
